HeritageNatureStreet FoodBeaches

Vietnam is Southeast Asia's most diverse country — the emerald limestone karsts of Ha Long Bay, Hoi An's lantern-lit old town, Sapa's rice terraces and a coastline of great-value beaches, threaded together by some of the best street food on earth. It offers remarkable variety for the money.

Best time to visit Vietnam

Vietnam is long, so the best time varies: overall, March–April and September–November bring the most pleasant weather countrywide. The north (Hanoi, Ha Long, Sapa) is best autumn–spring; the central coast (Hoi An, Da Nang) is driest February–August.

Top things to do in Vietnam

  • Cruise overnight among the karsts of Ha Long Bay
  • Wander Hoi An's lantern-lit ancient town
  • Ride the Ba Na Hills cable car to the Golden Bridge, Da Nang
  • Explore Hanoi's Old Quarter and street-food scene
  • Trek the rice terraces around Sapa
  • Relax on the beaches of Da Nang and Phu Quoc
  • Take a boat through the Mekong Delta

North, central or south?

With limited time, pick a region: the north for Hanoi and Ha Long Bay, the centre for Hoi An and Da Nang's beaches, the south for Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong. Longer trips string them together by short internal flights, which we arrange.

The overnight cruise

A night on a Ha Long Bay cruise — kayaking, caves and sunrise on deck — is the trip's highlight. We book reputable boats so the experience matches the setting.

Insider tip: Get clothes or shoes tailor-made in Hoi An — skilled tailors turn around beautiful custom pieces in a day or two for a fraction of home prices.
